porch awning draught skirt

[HNB]

hi guys, recently purchased a ontario 390 porch awning...

only problem is, i need a draught skirt. my drop is 16inches from the rail, will any universal draught skirt do?

i will have to get a 4m one, so can it easily be trimmed down to 3.9m? also i was looking at the 20inch drop, will that be enough excess.

also, any one recommend any decent metal pegs for harder grounds, not these plastic things.

thanks (again) H.

Our draught skirt has the vertical drop plus a sod cloth attached, so no worries as to whether it is tall enough or not.

Edit - see here for definition of sod cloth.

Most dealers / Internet shops sell metal pegs of various weights.
I use screw pegs. They can be screwed but quite honestly the hammer does a very good job. Length wise 8".

but quite honestly the hammer does a very good job.

For 'hammer' read 'lump hammer' as some hard standing pitches use very tough material. hmy:

So that's why Sir Sproket carries an array of masonary drill bits

thanks for replies.

i have seen a few draught skirts on ebay. but they are the the universal type, i may have to order one of them, the sod cloth type sounds exspensive lol

i wil have to look at the pegs at waudbys, they have standard 9" pegs for 20p each

Are they that bad? Iv bought a few bits from them with no probs,who do u use?

 

[Martin24]

The shop at YCC Carnaby not too bad or see what they've got at FM Caravans Fountains Rd Hull. Always worth a try at O'leary's as well.
